A grandmother from Brighton will celebrate her 80th birthday in style after winning a trip to Las Vegas from OSRAM, one of the world’s leading lighting manufacturers.
Seventy-nine year old Elizabeth Allen won the holiday for two to the city of lights after buying an OSRAM LED bulb from the Tesco Hove Superstore and entering a free prize draw in February.
Elizabeth will be flown out to Nevada later this year for a six-night holiday in a 4-star resort, courtesy of OSRAM and Tesco. She was awarded the prize at a Vegas-style ceremony on Friday 8th April.
She says, “I’ve always dreamed of going to Las Vegas. I’ve had to wait until I’m turning 80 years old but it’s finally happening.
“I couldn’t believe it when I found out I had won – you never think you’ll actually win when you enter these things. I really wanted a special treat to celebrate my 80th birthday in October and now I am so excited to fly out to Vegas with my daughter Nicola for a week.
“We’re both already saving up for the trip – I want to hire a taxi for a day to see all the famous tourist spots, try a bit of gambling in Caesars Palace and also plan on going on a night-time helicopter ride over the city.
“I only had to buy a light bulb to enter the competition and winning has honestly lighted up my life.”
Steve Burke, the retail sales director of OSRAM, says, “The Las Vegas trip prize draw proved very popular with thousands of people entering between the New Year and February. We are thrilled for Elizabeth and hope she has a fantastic birthday in true Las Vegas style.
“OSRAM’s LED bulb, which are available at Tesco stores nationwide, offer extremely low energy consumption with a long life span, as well as savings of up to 85 per cent in costs compared to standard incandescent, halogen or fluorescent lamps.”
